State of the American Dream Is Uncertain
Ah, the enduring American Dream. The idea that anyone who works hard enough can climb the ladder and achieve success: a lovely home in the suburbs, luxury cars in the garage, the kids off to a good college and the retirement in a sunny locale.
The reality is more complicated.
Although the economy is slowly improving, experts say the deep recession and weak recovery may have exacerbated decades-long trends that were already making it tough for Americans to move up the ladder and, perhaps, achieve the American Dream.
The incredibly weak job market of the past five years, in particular, may mean that more people feel that they are doing everything rightworking hard, going to college, following the rulesand still aren't getting ahead.
America , land of plenty is now a empty cup............
